THE MUSIC IS AN ECLECTIC MELTING POT OF MANY INFLUENCES THAT EXPAND THE BOUNDARIES OF CONTEMPORARY JAZZ, R&B, FUNK, ROCK, HIP-HOP, HOUSE AND SOUL. INNER CITY THE LP EXCEEDS ALL OF TODAYS CONTRIVED SOUL/NEO-SOUL ALBUMS.
ON EACH SONG WALT SINGS TO CONVEY AND EXPRESS HIS DEEPEST EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS. WITH VOCALS REMINISCENT OF SUCH ARTIST AS ISSAC HAYES TO THE LATE BARRY WHITE RANGING TO ARTIST LIKE GERALD LEVERT/TEDDY PENDERGRASS, HE OWNS A UNIQUE SULTRY, SOULFUL, ORGASMIC SOUND THAT CAN ONLY BE LABELED WALT. AS A SONGWRITER HE CREATES PICTURES AND PERSPECTIVES OF HIS LIFE OF LOVE AND LOOSE WHILE SURVIVING HOMLESSNESS AND BATTLING DRUG ADDICTION IN THE INNER CITY STREETS OF NEW YORK. LYRICALLY HE SPARKS THE STRONG ART OF STORYTELLING THAT CAPTURES SIMILARITIES TO GREATS SUCH AS BILL WITHERS, MARVIN GAYE, STEVIE WONDER AND GILL SCOTT HERON.
